Overview

Diversity Statement

The Audubon Society of Portland believes that inspiring all people to
love and protect nature is best achieved when we embrace diversity as a
value and practice. In the same way an ecosystem needs many types of
plants and wildlife, an organization thrives when it includes a
diversity of people and perspectives. We recognize that inequities are
widespread and create gaps between our present reality and our
aspirations. Audubon is committed to:

Reflecting the diversity of the community in our board, staff, volunteers, and members.

Empowering people to make positive changes in their community and environment.

Our Work

Conservation: We use a suite of conservation methods to protect imperiled species, reduce threats to birds across the Oregon landscape and preserve high-priority habitat. We also work to ensure all Portland-area residents have access to nature.

Education: Our expert educators provide world-class environmental education programs – both domestically and abroad – that help more than 12,000 children and 3,000 adults a year better understand and appreciate the natural world.

Wildlife rehabilitation: The Wildlife Care Center is the state's oldest and busiest wildlife rehabilitation facility, and it treats more than 3,000 animals and responds to more than 11,000 wildlife-related inquiries a year.

Sanctuaries: We run nature sanctuaries in the city, mountains and coast that model healthy ecosystems, offer safe haven to wildlife and provide people with places to connect with nature.

Volunteerism: We offer a variety of community science and volunteer opportunities, through which volunteers donate 43,000 hours of service a year.

Birding: We support the birding community and help people of all ages and backgrounds get involved in birding.
